After a year cooped up inside, getting ready can feel like a defeating process. Ripping clothing out of your closet only to recycle the same few lack-luster pieces. With the rest of your wardrobe left collecting dust. I mean, getting ready to do anything should be fun and exciting, right? Yet, there’s that same boring outfit again. The cure? Creating a capsule wardrobe.
In this Summer capsule wardrobe guide you’ll find all the basics you’ll need to create over 36 outfits for Summer. Making getting ready a seamless and potentially exciting process if curated properly.
First, I highly recommend updating your denim this season to something with a wider leg. If you didn’t purchase new jeans after my fall roundup on how to wear five different baggy jeans styles, the time is now. A wider leg is much more comfortable and it will give your current wardrobe favorites an instant facelift.
Second, invest in all-season items. If you’re someone who wears band or graphic tees all the time, splurge for a better quality one this season. If you love leather shorts, they’re a great piece to wear in the fall with tights and boots. Instead of getting white jeans, grab a light wash blue pair you’ll love year long.
Third, if you can’t stand another stage-five-clinger blouse, this is the hack for you. Shop the men’s section. I love purchasing men’s blazers and white button-up shirts for a more comfortable, oversized fit.

While there are only 36 summer outfit ideas listed below, there are truly endless possibilities with these pieces. The majority are under $100, but you’ll also find a budget-friendly roundup at the bottom with even more quality alternates!
Finally, I’ll leave you with one last thought. Don’t be afraid to wear it again! Basics are meant to be mixed and matched and worn more than once. I also heard an ex-Vogue employee state that as long as you have five chic outfits, it’s ‘Vogue-approved’ to wear them endlessly. And coming from someone who loves fashion, trust me when I tell you no one remembers which jeans you wore the last time they saw you.
